It has been 2 years since I last visited Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff at Maxwell Food Centre. I still remember how this stall caught my attention back then in 2011- the man making curry puff at his stall. The chance to enjoy and support another freshly made curry puff stall instead of factory made was too good an opportunity to forgo. Comparing the appearance of the stall over the 2 years, nothing much has changed. The stall appearance is still the same, even the man making the curry puff is wearing the same clothes and he still looks the same! Well, almost everything was the same. The only difference was that there was an increase in price in the curry puffs by 20 cents each. The man hard at work preparing the ingredients for the chicken curry puff. Tanglin Crispy Curry Puff sells three types of curry puffs; namely, Chicken Curry Puffs, Sardine Curry Puffs and Fish Otah Curry Puffs. The freshly prepared and cooked curry puffs are are still pipping hot are displayed at the stall front. Looks inviting? The Chicken Curry Puff and Sardine Curry Puff cost $1.40 each while the Fish Otah Curry Puff cost $1.60 each. Previously, the curry puffs used to cost $1.20 and $1.40 respectively. The ingredients mixed together to form the fillings in the curry puff.In the background, each piece of curry puffs looked so identical as if they were factory made. But in reality, they were hand made - made (shape) to perfection. The Chicken Curry Puff $1.40 was warm and plump. The crust thin, crisp and flaky had a slight buttery fragrance. The fillings comprised of moist mashed potatoes with chicken bits mixed with a blend of aromatic curry powder. In addition, a small piece of hard boiled egg in the curry puff. Overall, the Chicken Curry Puff was quite decent.This time, I also tried the Otah Curry Puff $1.60. It was executed differently and was surprisingly good. Instead of moist potatoes, it was filled with generous amount of fresh succulent fish chunks mixed with curry powder. It was a pleasure savouring such a curry puff.If you are at Maxwell Food Centre or at Tanjong Pagar, this is a snack worth trying. Try it immediately upon purchase as curry puffs taste best when they are freshly cooked.For full review and more photos, please visit http://foodiefc.blogspot.sg/2013/03/tanglin-crispy-curry-puff-maxwell-food.html

This is a memorable dinning moment for me because the curry puffs from this very stall is a shared love between myself and an ex-colleague turned good friend.I used to work in this area and Maxwell Food Centre has always been one of our regular hangouts for a quick lunch. Sometimes, when we were there for a late lunch then we usually skipped a proper lunch but went straight for Curry Puff. This stall is manned by an english speaking Uncle and he is selling different type of Curry Puffs including the usual curry potato, sardine and even black pepper chicken. I usually ended up with a curry potato and a sardine one to eat in the office. The filling for the curry potato has gotten the nice potato cubes nicely fried with aromatic curry powder to just right and not too messy in texture. The sardine filling was a little spicier and rather moist in texture with chunky pieces of sardine found in it. The crust has gotten a nice crispiness and not too oily. Though i left the company for a while now but i still ended up with one or two of their puffs whenever i am in the vicinity.
